I wasn't trying to say Porsche is unreliable. Today's water-cooled turbo models can push 650hp w/ease while tearing up roadcourses. This w/no cooling issues whatsoever, cant say that about anything short of a supercar.

I think the problem is Carrera specific. The article stated Porsche is aware of the problem, but isn't sure of why it occurs. They actually swap the whole engine out and replace it entirely.

Once the warrenty ends, servicing engines could be very expensice.

 

love carrera's!! as soon as i can afford one ill get it! blown engines and all.. LOL


but they definitely get close to being as good as sex

 

apparently, no one remembers the kabooey issues caused by by a snap ring for 91 NSX's....

 

Yeah, I remember but that was the first year. Honda's first attempt at a semi-exotic daily driver. Even Honda has the right to make mistakes.
Porsche has been making the same basic car for a millenia. Even still, we can excuse them because it's a Porsche. I don't know anyone...male or female who doesn't want to ride in a Porsche.

 

Doesn't Porsche have the most wins at the Le Mans 24 Hours Race?

 

You could be right wbout that one. They compete in allmost every class at Le Mans also.

 

I'd pass up both the NSX and 911 for a R34 GT-R. Cheaper than both, and probably more reliable.

::Shrugs:: $0.02

 

The ones sold at Motorex were going for 90k. And of course if u get a GT-R, your gonna mod it.
